Gift of self-worth

One can take anything from anyone, but, one shouldn't, ever, try to take away or dent the self-worth of anyone. That is the ultimate gift that one can give to anyone...even if by not giving or infusing self-worth in that being.... And of course, if one can infuse it, lead one to one’s self, to the light within, then, it is an icing on the cake. Such a being, thus led, acknowledges that this is one cake that tastes better than the best.

This is made possible by those, who, consciously or unconsciously, are led by their own light within, love within, and thus, spontaneously spread that light, being the “being of light” that one is...as we all are so...lighting the path of others, showing, where the path is and leads: inwards.

Note: This is one of the primal messages of Neale Donald Walsch's Conversations with God series, too: "Give people back people to themselves..."

Truth is or isn’t

Truth is not constant, is customized. Our beliefs shape our truth...our belief about our own selves. What is true, for one, doesn’t and cannot, necessarily be true for the other one.

That which “feels” true, rings true, is...and that which doesn’t, isn’t!

Difficult to believe it as a truth? Well, none is being asked to! Simply is shared, another observation,this one, from George Bernard Shaw: “All great truths begin as blasphemies.”

At the same time, the observation, made above, doesn’t claim anything, and definitely not“greatness!” The observation simply is a realization.

Do we know our way?

Each one of us has a right to our views. Who are we to seek explanations from others for their beliefs? We aren't here to judge, not even self, but simply be who we are, by knowing who we are. When we know that, we know that we can disagree without being disagreeable. We also acknowledge that more often than not our views, naturally, differ. We are uniquely "wired," within. Our perceptions simply are, neither good nor bad. When, one does something, one does from one's level of perspective, which, when others disagree with, they deem it wrong. We have our reasons behind believing and disbelieving for which neither are we to be hailed nor hauled. 

True, incidents are prevalent which evokes extreme emotions, but then, do we ask, what we are doing and who we are being? Directly, we have control over own selves, and if we do that, that alone would be something. And if one is still intent upon why is someone getting that they are, for doing what they are, simply applying the logic of the mind would never suffice. Like-energy situation creates resonance, and thus happens materialization. Likewise, dissonant condition creates undesirable condition. Whether we agree or not, doesn't change the fact: "As we sow, so we reap." From what level we are sowing—unconscious or subconscious—that is something else, which the conscious mind knows not. Yet, when one is aware of this mechanism, one learns to feed consciously harmonious thoughts, irrespective of what the external says and does, leaning not on the external. The external is our prior projections; future could be consciously created by conscious projection in the present. All said and done, in our life, what we do and who we be, matters...and we have the right, to be, remembering and following, always, for peaceful coexistence, honoring the life of else, as much as we do ours: "Live and let live."   

PS: It is a part of the comment on two comments (by Dipak Chakravarty and Swagata Mazumdar) made on an insight shared, on Facebook, of Neale Donald Walsch's (shared on February 12, 2014; anybody interested can find the entire "thread," on my Facebook profile). Thanks to them.

Commonness about the uncommon

“Common” and “uncommon” are labels, leveled and levied (as is the case!), by our perspectives. Hence, difficult is to agree...difficult to arrive at a common ground, grounded, as we are, in our perspectives, and more importantly, in our minds. The mind, though, finds it is easier to accept as common that which is prevalent, as the mind is not ambivalent in the wake of the prevalence. Rather, the visible and the frequently visible, is what the mind dotes on, knowing not, till it does, that the antidote to all our perceived troubles, lies in going beyond the mind, going beyond that which is visible, going beyond the belief: visibility is the proof of truth.

Yet, it is the ambivalence of the mind that brings this piece into being—or rather, the response to it! It is the mind that cooks and serves the dualities, as it finds difficult to stay hooked to, till it does, to singularity of source.

Still, one wonders, how the mind perceives “uncommonness” in one domain of life as desirable, while, in the other, deplorable.

Wondering what is being alluded to? Hold the wanderings of your mind! Here it is...

When we choose to “have” something—purchase—we, commonly (prevalent-ly), opt for the uncommon—finding beauty in the rarity. At the same time, owning something uncommon gives a smug satisfaction, a star, a symbol of status. Move on to human beings, interactions with the uncommon, and the very uncommonness, become repulsive. The uncommon, that one vies for, in the domain of “things,” when it comes to “beings,” when one interacts with, reacts, perceiving it as queerness, madness, defiance...denying to acknowledge the beauty in the rarity, in this domain! The uncommonness of and in beings, commonly, isn’t looked at as uniqueness, but as a difference that needs to be decimated, that needs to be forced to change...to sing the tune of the common. Lest it change everything? Or, is it because uncommon beings have their own unique voices, and can reply back, while the “commodities,” comply?

Whatever, is the reason, comes into the periphery and centre of vision, this very common treatment, discriminatory, to uncommonness, as changes the domain of its residence....

In the name of God

We have created a God-fearing society, instead of loving, claiming superiority of one religion over other, and of one being over another fellow being. All that is propagated in the name of God, by the claimed "all-knowers" of God, are manifestations of ignorance, asking for “what nots,” "in the name of God," portraying God as a judgmental, leash-whipping trainer, dictator—which couldn't be more apart from truth—is appalling. God is thus kept confined to particular forms, asking for sacrifices, as if we have something that God doesn’t have and has to thus beg or impose. God is said to be found only through specific rituals, failing which, condemnation is said to be assured, yet, how do we explain the good tidings from nowhere? How do we explain the happenings, in complete contradictions to the apparent contradictions? How do we explain the appearance of beings, forwarding our purpose, without even our asking or our knowing them, till the moment we do.

The turbulence and strife, that the world is rife with, we have created by creating a notion of a God external to us.  With the creation of a God separate from us, we have theologies fostering separation.  A God, external to us, is easy to blame and easier to impose: in the name of God. We have deified God, but we haven’t been able to create an edifice that honors our creation, our very essence....

But then, with evolution en masse, life's functioning prevailing always, God working, in, as and through us, healing reversals are ensured, and are in progress, too (through many luminaries, who have owned up the responsibility for the same, saying “yes” to the oneness with God), as is the trademark of an all-loving, unconditional essence, which we call God.... Truly, as Neale Donald Walsch’s Conversations with God, Communion with God, and all is his books, for that matter, gently declare: Ours is a way, not the only way.

We run from pillar to post to find God, yet, not recognizing the host: our own selves. And all, we realize, when we go one way, within, as therein lies all the answers that we have ever sought, are seeking and will...as therein resides the essence, the Source Energy of everything, which we call: Thy name is God. And as we proceed, reversals ensured, it is assured that atrocities “in the name of God” gives way to acknowledging the synchronicities of God, finding it within—finding Its synergy in and as our very own pulsating energy, within and without.

P.S.: My friend Jyoti Sindhu is thanked, as her likewise sharing on Facebook serves as the catalyst for this post, drawing it out, from within to without.

Know....

We do not know what we know, till we know....

Presence

"Presence" is always, as is of the "essence," and thus, independent it is of everything for its presence—including appearance. When we vibrate at the same frequency, we resonate and sense the "presence," even without the appearance.
